Important Swedish Artist Carl Eldh Bronze Sculpture Anna. Stamped Made In France

Description: For sale is a wonderful and charming bronze sculpture by the highly important Swedish sculptor and artist Carl Eldh (1873 - 1955) Eldh was in Paris being inspired by his good friend and world renowned French sculptor August Rodin at the turn of the century but eventually returned to his home country of Sweden around 1905. This sculpture was cast in the early 20th century, but we are unsure of the casting date. Some of these bronze sculptures are signed C J ELDH. This sculpture is signed ELDH and stamped on the bottom with the “made in France” stamp (see pics). In addition, there seems to be a number on the back of the sculpture which is hard to make out, but it looks like possibly 142. Please see detailed pictures for consideration. “ANNA” was a well received, and loved sculpture by the artist, and we believe there were a few official castings from the original which was conceived by the artist in 1899 at the time he was in Paris France. This sculpture has a wonderful patina. Please note that we have taken pictures of this sculpture, both outdoors in natural sunlight with high definition cameras, as well as indoors with artificial light. Notice the sculpture has a much darker patina. Indoors. Out in the sunlight, the patina is a little more lively and interesting. In overall good condition with a very good patina. Could use a little cleaning in the crevices of dust buildup over time. Measurements: Height - 5 3/4” (14.6 cm) Approximately Width - 3” (7.6 cm) Approximately Carl Eldh (10 May 1873 – 26 January 1954) was a Swedish artist and sculptor. Eldh was born in Östhammar Municipality, Uppland, the son of a blacksmith. From 1897 through 1904 he studied sculpture at the Académie Colarossi in Paris, where the French sculptor Auguste Rodin inspired him greatly. His first works were characterized by softer forms, but by 1916 he had developed a powerful realistic style, as with the Strindberg Monument in Tegnérlunden in Stockholm. Strindberg was a frequent subject for Eldh. Carl Eldh ranks along Carl Milles with the most popular Swedish sculptors of the first half of the 20th century. Eldh also produced architectural sculpture with renowned Swedish architects, among them Ivar Tengbom, Erik Lallerstedt and Ragnar Östberg. Östberg designed Eldh's own studio in Bellevue Park, in the north of Stockholm, in 1918. And through Östberg, Eldh received the 1923 contract for park sculptures for the Stadshuspark. Adjacent to Stockholm City Hall, between the building and the shore of Lake Mälaren's shore, the park stands with Eldh's ensemble representing the three artists, August Strindberg for Authors, Gustaf Fröding for Poets, and Ernst Josephson for Painters, as well as Eldh's bronze sculptures "Sången" and "Dansen" ("The Song" and "The Dance"). The nakedness of the statues initially caused strong protests. Eldh’s major public works include the grand statue of Strindberg in Stockholm and the Branting Monument, also in Stockholm, which was first executed in plaster around 1930 and completed in 1952. His work was also part of the sculpture event in the art competition at the 1932 Summer Olympics. The Carl Eldh studio in Bellevue is now a public museum, "Carl Eldh Ateljémuseum", with two studio rooms stocked from floor to ceiling with drawings, sculptures, tools and other personal belongings. A visit reflects not on the creative activity of an individual sculptor, but allows direct study of his era.
